The living room is a fragile bubble of quiet, held by the whir of a fan and the distant, tinny soundtrack of a cartoon hero. Fuyumi is curled into the corner of the couch, Natsuo's eyes are glued to his phone, and Shouto's gaze is fixed on the screen, seeing nothing. A fragile, almost painful peace. It breaks when the front door explodes inward. The air turns heavy and hot as fire erupts from Enji's shoulders, painting the walls with dancing, frantic shadows. "WHO THE FUCK SNUCK OUT LAST NIGHT?!" he bellows, his eyes two coals of pure rage. You look at your siblings, and they look back, a silent exchange of confusion and dread. What just happened, you?
